***

The sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps, whether swimming vigorously, gamboling amid the waves, attacking ships, or simply displaying themselves for our appreciation, are one of the most visually engaging elements on these maps, and yet they have never been carefully studied. The subject is important not only in the history of cartography, art, and zoological illustration, but also in the history of the geography of the "marvelous" and of western conceptions of the ocean. Moreover, the sea monsters depicted on maps can supply important insights into the sources, influences, and methods of the cartographers who drew or painted them. In this highly-illustrated book the author analyzes the most important examples of sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps produced in Europe, beginning with the earliest mappaemundi on which they appear in the 10th century and continuing to the end of the 16th century.

“[B]eautifully illustrated. . . . People interested in maps, cryptozoology, folklore, and arcane zoology and zoological history will want to check it out.” ― Scientific American

“Medieval and Renaissance map scholar, Chet Van Duzer, backed by the British Library as publisher, have teamed up to produce a spectacular new book, Sea Monsters on Medieval and Renaissance Maps, a topic, oddly enough, for which there is little by way of real precedent. This book will become the sea monster authority by default. Although this beautiful book is a product of academic quality, it is very readable and accessible and requires no prior knowledge.” ― BibliOdyssey

Great purchase! Highly recommend!
Color: Yellow Gold, Size: 1 cttw
Love these earrings! They have beautiful brilliance and sparkle AND I feel the setting is relatively substantial. They have a screw on back and the back is not small and flimsy like some earring backs I have seen. I purchased the 1 carat pair and love them. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and timeless!

The earrings are beautiful. I was hesitant to go with lab grown over natural but the quality of the earrings have genuinely changed my outlook on pab grown diamonds. These were made with 14kt screw on backs and have given me peace of mind. These were purchased to be worn in the 2nd ear piercings. They look stunning next to my natural halo diamond earrings.

Great quality

Beautiful earrings, but I would definitely get the largest 1ct option if an adult plans to wear them. The smaller sizes would be perfect special gift for a child.
